Hi,

You can check with GPRS admin when bookshop & uniform opening days and hrs for the holidays. You should also receive a letter frm school telling you which \"house\" your child will be placed (besides the class). This is important to get the correct P.E T-shirts. Do allocate more time as there are usually a long queue.
Cheers :welcome:

Had been sending my 2 boys to Salvation Army (upp Bt Timah) gym classes for them to jump around and enjoy. As being overweight, maybe should watch their eating habits as well as expose them to exercises. Swimming classes are quite good, else just bring them to a park and let them run around. My own opinion. Cheers

Hi,

did that last year. A very memorable experience. Just some advice:
#1: Pri 1 exercise is NOT first come first serve so there is no advantage to submit on the first day. However, there might be a rush to submit on the last day.
#2: Balloting. Just remember: Buy 4-D & Toto. Keep your hopes high but prepare for disappointment. 2nd and even 3rd choice schools if not successful.
#3: Enjoy the Experience. Understand the disappointment when not successful but take it in stride and go for the next alternative. Either put the name in waiting lists or move on. Keep the spirits up.
It is easier said then done but enjoy the experience.
Cheers.

Thanks. I thought would be much faster doing a reverse balloting for those take up rate that is just over e.g. (50 avail, 54 applied). Thanks. Good luck to all involve in balloting coming Tuesday. :lol:

Surprised with the uptake of the schools this year (being one of the lower birth-rate years) but then again, the schools are cutting down on their places to transit into single session. Imagine the first born is a Dragon baby. Just wondering can the schools ballot for children that are not successful? :?

Hi all,

Just to share my thoughts and decision for the primary school registration.
I have in mind BPPS & Beacon as first choice. Is within 1km of BPSS but 1-2km of Beacon. Initially thought of \"trying out\" at BPSS with the fallback of Greenridge & Zhenghua. Looking at the outcome (BPSS & Beacon), there are 73 applicants not going to be successful for 2C. GRPS & ZHPS total have 78 places left. As a personal preference, I left Westview P.S out. So if we are not successful in 2C, our second range schools might not be assured and we are working on a uncomplete data (still have 1 more day). So have decided to drop first range choice and enroll in Greenridge P.S.
Good luck to all! Hard to get our minds away but must always remind ourself that it is your child that will get the most \"shock\" in a new environement and embarking on the next stage of life. Cheers.
